The day after the election may be a downer for people like me who found
the adrenalin of this election season seductive.¬† Mornings will
continue to dawn and the progression of late fall to winter will
continue.¬† Eventually I will remember that a few things may be
different, but a lot stays the same.¬† A nation that controls half the
world's military might, a global economic crisis, an impending world
food crisis, and serious environmental challenge are looming in front
of every one of us.¬† Unless I have a longer view, I may fall into a
very long depression because so little has changed.¬†
